The problem is known and last 100% working toolchain I've tried is old openmoko toolchain with gcc-4.3.2 IIRC http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain I was able to build working kernel also with gcc-4.5 (default in OE when u-boot patches for n900 were added) only with -O0, later we've found faulty code and fixed it better see http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/diff/recipes/u-boot/u-boot-git/nokia900/0001-nokia-rx51-fix-declaration-fails-when-building-with-.patch?id=75527d4842223cc831b2eaaed0150f28ff467014 instead of http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/diff/recipes/u-boot/u-boot-git/nokia900/0001-nokia-rx51-use-O0-as-work-around-for-gcc-4.5.patch?id=75527d4842223cc831b2eaaed0150f28ff467014 from http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/commit/?id=75527d4842223cc831b2eaaed0150f28ff467014 but later toolchain changes break u-boot again and possible work arround was to put -O0 back again (and I still have it in my shr-experimental branch with old oe.dev) but later toolchain changes break u-boot again (even with -O0) and I've refused to look for the real cause (hoping to get n900 support to u-boot master sooner and fix gcc issue with it once for all - see shr-master branch in u-boot repo). The binaries linked from shr wiki are built with old openmoko-toolchain and then uploaded to buildhost. And I haven't even tried it again with gcc-4.6 used in shr-core yet (still hoping to get working shr-master - but that's failing even before starting kernel now). > If i combine the standard kernel with the u-boot provided by maeomo > (u-boot-pr13) then the kernel boots, so i think the kernel converting and > creation of combined image works.

Yes, you're doing it right probably, only the u-boot binary is wrong. > As u-boot sources i tried shr core with patches and the version described by > ali1234 http://al.robotfuzz.com/~al/maemo/u-boot/ see https://gitorious.org/u-boot-shr/u-boot for all branches I've considered to use to add n900 support to OE u-boot, not all u-boot binaries for n900 had their sources available or in corresponding version to resulting binaries. > Can wee met in irc today or when do you have time to talk about ? Not really, my workstation@home is ill from raid metadata upgrades and I'm not sure when I'll find time to fix it. Ccing shr-devel just in case someone will be also interested in working on shr-master to get n900 patches upstream (I've written 2 e-mails about upstreaming and shr-master issues to Al in last N months, but no reply..) _______________________________________________ Shr-devel mailing list Shr-devel@lists.shr-project.org http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-devel
